Skype Fixes Battery Drain Problem with Android App

Microsoft has released an updated Android app for its Skype subsidiary which it said will significantly improve battery performance.

The company said that users can now leave the Skype app running in the
background of their smartphone "all day without negatively affecting
battery life." The battery life problem has been a major concern for users
for some time.

However, in order to do that, they have temporarily turned off instant
notification of messages in group chats, although they expect to restore that
later.

The upgrade to version 4.7 also fixed a problem in the latest Android OS that
caused a runaway process when the camera was synced in the background.

They also fixed issues with tablets that don't have Bluetooth and also now
lists Windows Live Messenger contacts in the Skype (default) view, not just the
All contacts view.
